1989 VW Westfalia LT Florida Camper 

 

The Volkswagen 1989 Westfalia LT Florida Camper Model History

In 1989 the VW Westfalia LT Sven Hedin model was replaced by a new model called the VW Westfalia Florida Camper. The furniture in the new model was the same light grey with a dark grey edging that was in the 1988 Westfalia Sven Hedin. The upholstery material was different as were some of the specifications and the external logos etc. The rear of the van had opening doors and the kitchen ran along the side of the bus so that the rear door could be used as an entrance or exit.
